IMPROVEMENT IN OSCILLATING REGISTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,031, dated September 11, 1877; application filed? November 27, 1876. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHANIEL M. LOWE, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oscillation-Registry Device, of which the following is a specificaelevation, showing a set of recording-dials.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of my invention, showing the train of wheels and the escapement. Fig. 3 is a plan, showing the escapement and escapement-wheel.

LetA and B represent the two plates to which the operating parts are affixed.

O, K, L, and M, Figs. 1 and 2, are pointers, which, in connection with the numbered dials, (see Fig. 1,) indicate in the usual m nner of registering devices. g

D, Figs. 2 and 3, is an escapement-wh 1, connected to the train 0 K L M, as shown in Fig. 2.

E E show an anchor-escapement having ts arms loaded near the detents, as shown atH and H, Fig. 3. This escapement is pivo d at P, Figs. 2 and 3.

My invention is to be used as follows: e device is attached to any oscillating body in such a manner that the motion of the b y will cause the anchor-escapement E E to swing back and forth. This will cause e wheel D to revolve, and thus give motion to the registering-pointers.

Having now described the construction a (1 operation of my invention, what I claim is as follows:

The automatic registering device consi ting of the weighted anchor-escapeinent E, in combination with an escapement-wheel a d recording-train, all to operate substantiallylas described, and for the purpose set forth.
